A woman who allegedly lied about being raped in 2005 and sent an innocent man to jail could soon be facing her own trip to prison, The Post has learned.
Prosecutors are now presenting evidence against her to a Manhattan grand jury. A source said perjury charges were “likely.”
They plan to call witnesses to testify that Biurny Peguero Gonzalez made up a story of having been raped at knifepoint in upper Manhattan because her pals were furious with her for leaving them.
Among the witnesses is the Rev. Zeljko Guberovic, her priest at St. Anthony’s, in Union City, NJ, where Gonzalez, 26, confessed to the fabrication in March, sources said.
Gonzalez had accused William McCaffrey and two of his friends of gang-raping her in Inwood. He was convicted and sentenced to 20 years before being released last month.
